SUMMARY:The Critical Zone Part II: Soils are Sponges and Rivers have Livers
DESCRIPTION:  \n \n  \nFreshwater is hosting the second installation in our Moos Family Speaker Series webinars on the critical zone. From parking lots\, to construction sites\, to farm fields and beyond\, everything we do on land affects water. These land-water interactions occur in the critical zone and\, depending on a variety of factors\, can have wide-ranging results. Soils store and release water\, nutrients\, and pollutants. Rivers provide an opportunity for groundwater-surface water exchange and can act as a filter. Join us for our spring webinar as we learn more about these systems and explore strategies and actions for capitalizing on the critical zone’s ability to capture what we need and process everything we don’t want. This event features presentations by Dr. Genevieve Ali\, McGill University (Montreal\, Canada)\, and Dr. Kamini Singha\, Colorado School of Mines\, followed by a Q&A session.

SUMMARY:An Update on Water Reuse in Minnesota
DESCRIPTION:Water reuse projects are being implemented throughout Minnesota and across the country. There are numerous opportunities to leverage alternative water sources as a resource. Despite this opportunity\, we continue to face barriers that limit implementation and successful operation of reuse systems. During this workshop\, hosted by Freshwater and Barr Engineering\, we aim to learn from one another and push the conversation related to water reuse forward. \nThis workshop will include a brief update on water reuse in the state and nationally\, and then will focus on best practices and lessons learned for successful implementation and operations and maintenance of reuse systems. \nAgenda \n\nRecap of water reuse drivers and common applications.\nUpdates on regulation and guidance in Minnesota.\nUpdates on national reuse efforts.\nPanel discussion on lessons learned for successful implementation and operation and maintenance (O&M) of reuse facilities\, including:\n\nBryan Bear\, City of Hugo\nKristin Seaman\, City of Woodbury\nForrest Kelley\, Capitol Region Watershed District\nNancy Stowe\, Mississippi Watershed Management Organization\n\n\nDiscuss ideas for future discussions and schedule site visits for Summer 2024.\nPost-session happy hour from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m.
